Huddersfield Sea Cadets turned out at Asda on Bradford Road today, 10th November 2018, to help raise valuable donations towards the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.

The Sea Cadets are no strangers to collecting, having sold poppies and pins during last year's Poppy Appeal and in previous seasons. The Poppy Appeal raises money to help members of the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force, Reservists, veterans and their families.

Good luck to the cadets on the Advancement Board.
